Viewing Groups


A user can be a member of one or many groups. Since a group can be a member of another group, hierarchies of groups can be built. A user who is an explicit member of a group is also, by inheritance, a member of that group's parent groups.

To view which groups a user is a member of:

  1. Enter a search expression in the search field and click the Search button to find the user you want.

  2. Select the user from the list.

    Comment: If the resulting list contains more than 100 users, you can use the pagination controls at the bottom to view more users that match your search criteria.

  3. In the right hand pane, there is a field called Member of groups, in which all the groups the selected user is a member of are listed. Groups shown in black text are groups that the user is explicitly declared a member of, whereas groups shown in grey text are groups that the user is a member of by inheritance.


    The user "tommy" is an explicit member of the Researchers group and the Everyone group. He is also by inheritance a member of the Project Greenbook group and the Chemists group.
